EnglishWhich websites and elements can SocialFocus hide or customize?
Updated
SocialFocus is a browser extension for Safari, Chrome, and Firefox that hides selected elements of social media sites rather than blocking the sites entirely. According to the product site, it covers 7 websites with 115+ configurable options, and each site can be personalized separately. The exact list of all seven supported sites is not published in the available page content, so treat the site count as the confirmed figure and the specific site list as something to verify in the extension itself.
How the customization model works
The extension works on a per-site basis. For each supported website, SocialFocus has identified elements it describes as "undesirable and addictive," and you choose which of those to conceal. This means the same site can look different for two people: one user might hide only Reels, while another hides the entire home feed but keeps direct messages.
Two features support this setup:
- One-Tap Activation — apply a site's configuration in a few seconds.
- Password Protection — prevents unauthorized or compulsive changes to your settings.
- Launch Tweaks — adds a pre-entry timeout before the extension activates, aimed at compulsive checking behavior.
Elements users commonly hide
The site's user testimonials name specific elements, which gives a practical picture of what the options target:
| Site | Elements mentioned in user feedback |
|---|---|
| Reels, suggested posts, feed (kept DMs only) | |
| YouTube | Home feed (kept subscribed channels, links, and search results) |
| Feeds (kept links and search results) |
One reviewer (Elena Bn) describes the result as seeing "a blank page where the feed was," while keeping messaging features usable. Another (Dellaster) reports keeping subscribed YouTube channels and search-driven visits while removing the algorithmic feed.
What this means for your setup
If your goal is to keep a site's messaging or search utility but remove endless scrolling, SocialFocus is designed for exactly that pattern: hide the feed-type elements, leave the rest. Before relying on it, confirm that your specific site is among the seven supported and that the element you want to hide appears in that site's option list — the page confirms the counts and the per-site approach but does not enumerate every option.
